Default Something that really motivated me today

I know I have to exercise like every day. And I am lazy and would rather, well, just be on my computer on my lazy butt all day.

So today my husband was working and I was home with the dog, and it's really hard to motivate myself to get off my butt to the gym if I don't have him around to pester, or if he's not home to pester me. However, today something motivated me. and it got me to the gym for an hour.

A couple of years ago I got pretty good about working out and was actually running on and off on the treadmill at my old apt's gym (well, a treadmill and a weight machine). I remember I had a great workout and came home, took a shower, got all cute and dressed up, and met my husband and some of his coworkers for dinner. This was summer, so it was still light out, and it was warm and sunny, and when I got there, I just felt so high and wonderful. I got a portable burger and a salad and it tasted SO GOOD. And I still remember that feeling. Exercise high is just so wonderful and awesome, and that motivated me. So I got up, ended up working in my yard for 30 min, then came inside and got changed, and left for the gym.

I'm just about to get in the shower, and dry my hair and use a fabulous product I just bought (Shimmer.Shine from Kevin Murphy), dry my hair and go out to dinner with some friends.

so yay!!!
